‘Smiley’ Happy Therapy For The Monday Blues

A scent that can chemically change your mood  by releasing “happy chemicals”, is  the claim to fame of the  Smiley Scent collection . Yours truly is extremely picky with scents, and for the most  part if it hints too closely  anything edible and has a starlet on it, I just can’t. Nonetheless the Smiley scents created  by Ora -ïto and Arnau Bani  are really pleasant. Not particularly feminine or masculine, the packaging imitates pharmaceuticals and laboratory containers making the whole concept modern and fresh and  definitely not kitschy. The full Chemical explanation of how Smiley works on the flip,  It’s available here.

The formula is based on natural bio chemistry, combining the monoaminated alkaloids Theobromine and Phenylethylamine derived from pure cocoa extract. This psycho-stimulant cocktail is available in a complete range of fragrance and body care products created with one goal in mind: to lift your mood!

ß Theobromine: blocks the receivers of adrenalin that create stress
ß Phenylethylamine: has euphoric properties, sets off a feeling of joy and excitement

The blended flavors of orange, cocoa (it gives the same effect on your brain as chocolate – minus the guilt of calories!), pimento, patchouli and musk have been known to bring a feeling of comfort often associated with positive childhood memories, thus giving a sense of coziness and joy.
